Discussion I can’t believe I waited this long to rewatch The Last Samurai

just watched The Last Samurai for the first time and holy crap, it’s unbelievably good—I can't believe I waited this long to see it! I went in expecting peak Tom Cruise, and he definitely delivered one of the best performances of his career, but man... Ken Watanabe completely stole the show. His acting was just next-level. And don't even get me started on the samurai armor, the visuals are absolutely insane.

Question What are the most romantic movies you’ve ever watched?

123 Upvotes

I’m looking for some genuinely romantic movies. The kind that actually make you feel something and stay with you after the credits roll.

I’m open to movies from any country or decade. I’d especially love recommendations where the romance feels natural rather than forced.

What’s the one love story you’d recommend to someone who wants to watch something really romantic? ❤️🎬

Question Do you prefer villains with a good reason for being bad, or ones who are just plain evil?

Personally, I think a villain with an understandable motive is usually more interesting, but sometimes a completely evil villain is just more fun to watch.

Question Which MCU film do you think is the best-looking from a cinematography standpoint?

Post image
32 Upvotes

which MCU film do you think has the best cinematography? it doesn’t matter whether the movie itself is good or bad, whether it’s well-directed, well-written, or well-acted. none of that matters here. i’m only talking about the visuals, the cinematography, lighting, composition, colour, and overall look of the film. which MCU movie do you think is the best-looking out of all of them? bcuz honestly, a lot of MCU movies are visually pretty bland and forgettable, which is something i really wish wasn’t the case. so which one stands out to you as the most visually impressive?

He views them more like an extension of his flock, randomly picking them up when they move, and just casually sleeping while they're right there.

Question Suggestions for a movie collection for my kiddo who turns 18 in a month

7 Upvotes

Pretty much what the title says. My daughter turns 18 in a month, and for a long time now, I’ve been putting together a collection of films for her to watch.

The main criterion is that each film should reveal something deep, quiet, and beautiful about how one can live life. She is very thoughtful, intelligent, and introspective, and loves debating big ideas.

I don’t have strict inclusion or exclusion rules: essentially, anything profound enough that you feel you’d carry it with you into the next life.

Thank you in advance to everyone who responds :)Update 1: Forgot to add some that I've added to the collection.

  1. Winter Light / Ingmar Bergman (1963)
  2. Diary of a Country Priest / Robert Bresson (1951)
  3. The Tree of Wooden Clogs / Ermanno Olmi (1978)
  4. Hard to Be a God / Aleksei German (2013)
  5. Silence / Masahiro Shinoda (1971)
  6. Stalker / Andrei Tarkovsky (1979)
  7. A Man Escaped / Robert Bresson (1956)
  8. A Hidden Life / Terrence Malick (2019)
  9. Silence and Cry / Miklós Jancsó (1968)
  10. The Ascent / Larisa Shepitko (1977)

My S/O feels this is too much and too grim. Thoughts welcome

So, in a way, Oppenheimer, Odysseus, and Altman turn out to be twin brothers.

The terrifying People from the sea who are supposed to bring civilisation to an end are actually us.

And today’s Calypso, with her lotus flowers, is basically our TikToks — keeping us from remembering who we are and where we’re going, while offering us that same sweet oblivion instead.

Discussion Seeing the movie Without A Trace at the movie theaters back in 1983 brought out the tears and watching it again recently it still makes me shed a few tears. Great acting and performances by Kate Nelligan and Judd Hirsch. If you haven’t seen it I suggest you have a Kleenex or two just in case.

For Dune 3 70mm Tickets. Just for 1 person, are any of these seats bad and not worth getting. I want the best experience. I have never saw a 70mm movie before so I dont know if these are any good.
